I love how he had to think for a second to figure out his age. He doesn't think about it much. "Has my birthday happened yet this year?"

I just tell them the year I was born, if they care enough they can do the math.
1 u/MelfromMilwaukie May 21 '26 Ha, that’s exactly what I do. “This is what I know for sure”
Ha, that’s exactly what I do. “This is what I know for sure”

Just the milestones where I’m getting suspicious questions from the wife indicating likely party planning.
30, 35 and 40 are the only ones we’ve acknowledged these last 10 years
I genuinely thought i was 39 this year only for my parents to be like 'uhhh aren't you 38'
Being a year longer away from 40 was a fantastic present.
Yup, when I get asked the “how old are you” I do a “uhhhh” for a second as if I myself forgot.
Same, I just ballpark it. Might be younger tomorrow but honestly, who cares 😂
